Viper22 2,418 Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Ballack, Gudjohnsen, Sturridge & Bertrand.Last 2 because I feel like they weren't treated as well as they deserved to be, the first 3 because I feel like they still had something to offer the club when they left.

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Pre Abramovich: Osgood, Hudson, Weller, Zola, Dixon, Technically, Zola was not let go pre-Abramovic because Roman had already taken over when his contract was not renewed.In fact, a couple of years ago, Le Saux said in an interview that both him and Gianfraco were promised new contracts by the club if the team made it to the CL but Roman's arrival is what changed those plans.

DYC. 7,542 Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Kalou - For my own personal pleasure though. The ridiculous amount of stick he received and how he was blamed for every poor result was hilariousEidur is probably the only player who's departure really hurt. Should've stayed for a further 3, 4 years..Sturridge's treatment was shameful, indirectly because of Torres.Lampard should have retired here.

Big regret he was sold though ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidzeret 2,257 Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 In Robben's case, there was little we could do about it. So that was alright. But I regret we sold Sturridge because in the following season, he turns out to be one of best strikers in the division and we had the worst one on Torres.Emotionally, it was hard to see Zola, Ballack, Maka, Essien, Mata, Ashley and Lamps leave.

Laylabelle 9,539 Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Robben though was injury prone when he wasnt all good!Sturridge had a lot of potential and has shwon what he can do if played in the right postionIn a way Gallas.Pretty good though a bit of a pratt of a person on the field good player.

Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 sturridge and Lukaku. The way they were treated was not entirely retracable but we don't know what was behind the scenes. Obviously we could have used 2 homegrown strikers.Lampard, Deco and Ballack were released a year too early IMO.Robben could have been what he has been for FCB, if he had provided the medical support he got at BAyern.

mikeholiday 209 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Robben. Became a chelsea fan in 2006 because of Robben, Cole, Duff.Rumors were popping up that Robben was gonna be sold. Then Jose came out saying he's happy especially after just getting married blah blah. Next day he's off to Real. What added to the frustration was that Malouda was not good in his first year.

lionsden 4,689 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 I am gobsmacked that some posters left out Robben and Sturridge. I can't even take anyone that doesn't include those 2 seriously unless their reason is personal rather than football related. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stingray 9,441 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Robben. By far. On a sentimental level KDB - he would have been a better shout than Salah in the team but he needs a lot of game time to perform. Shame he doesnt have the mental strength needed[emoji33] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhForAGreavsie 6,091 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 I am gobsmacked that some posters left out Robben and Sturridge. I can't even take anyone that doesn't include those 2 seriously unless their reason is personal rather than football related.Although I'd dearly love to have Robben playing on the right of our current team, I won't be a hypocrite and pretend that I regretted his sale at the time. Between injuries and form Robbie hadn't really been contributing consistently for a while. By the time he left he was glad to go, Jose seemed happy to take the money and I wasn't too unhappy about it either.Studge was a different matter. Although I'd like to think that I recognised his weaknesses as clearly as anyone else did, I always felt he was our best striker and that he should be starting at centre forward. I remember thinking one day, as he tracked back to the corner flag just below where I sit, what a terrible waste it was playing him wide and forcing him to do this. That said I'm over it now, just as I'm over Mata's departure. It's done and they've gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
